“You seem to have understood him to say, “the Rebbe is Moshiach, look, even Rabbi Schochet agrees”.
In that case, I agree. It doesn’t make any sense to say that.”
Yes, this is exactly what I thought he meant, but I think you’re correct. Sorry about that. I thought he was bringing him as a proof, not just telling people to look up an existing rebuttal from Chabad.
“In general, I wouldn’t give too much credence to any RCA statement.”
Honestly, agreed. It’s a bit two-faced of us to ally with Chabad when it’s a chareidi vs. MO discussion, then ally with the RCA when it’s a Litvish vs. Chabad discussion. We should just be steadfast in our opposition to everyone everywhere all the time.
